Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Life Coaching?

 

Life Coaching is the art of unlocking a person or organization’s potentials to maximize their own performance by helping to learn rather than teaching them. It’s like supporting a baby to learn how to work, you don’t teach them.

 

Life Coaching is transformational, and that’s the aspect we are passionate about. We use the power of coaching to help individuals like you, organizations, teams and groups to be more effective, increase performance and achieve what they would ordinarily not achieve if they worked alone.

 

What form does Life Coaching Process Take?

 

It is usually a one-to-one relationship in a personal session or as part of a group in a team or workshop. Life Coaching is a tool we use to support you in a non-directional way to explore your ideas, fears and goals. We use it to challenges you to discover what has been stopping you from being who you really are. During the process, your coach:

 

During this process, your transformational coach raises awareness of your circumstances, challenges any limiting beliefs you may hold, and helps you to replace them with new empowering beliefs and ideas.

 

Your coach gets you to identify with your highest priorities – what is the most important to you and helps you to focus to achieve them.

How can you help me as a Coach?

 

Your Transformational Coach will be there to encourage, motivate and support you personally during your 1-1 or telephone coaching. He will also be your facilitator during your attendance at a workshop. Your Coach will listen to you and respect your views. But He won’t tell you what you should do, nor give you advice. Instead your Transformational Coach will help you to identify and develop your strengths and recognise, and challenge your fears.

 

Remember, coaching is NOT counselling, psychotherapy, mentoring or teaching. Your Transformational Coach knows you have all the answers locked away within you, and that you are the expert in your life. So, your Coach is the key to unlocking the answers to the issues and challenges you are facing. He will help you unlock the doors in your mind that you didn’t know were closed. Transformational Coaching is the perfect addition to any successful life.

 

What is Confidence Coaching and who is it for?

 

Confidence coaching is for those who may already lead ‘successful lives’ (but not feel confident or keep putting important decisions or goals off) as well as for those who just don’t see themselves as successful.

 

You may have good relationships in both personal and business, and be in a well paid career. However it may be that you feel something is missing, or that you see yourself as a ‘fraud’ who might be found out.

 

Perhaps it feels as if you are stuck in a rut, or that you have trouble juggling all the balls in the air at one time. You might believe you have had enough of waiting for things to change and have decided you want to take action, gain that confidence, banish procrastination, take responsibility, have more choice and get things done immediately. Transformational Coaching helps develop and maintain confidence in your personal and business life.

 

What can I expect as a client or when being coached?

Prior to this time, you have been using your willpower, and pushing yourself and trying hard to make things happen. Now with your Transformational Coach, you will move away from that feeling, being guided, supported and naturally pulled towards what you want in your life.

 

You can expect to gain self-awareness, discover who you truly are, identify what is important to you, how to plan for what you want, how to set goals that are realistic and achievable, and how to succeed at those important things in your life. Transformational Coaching will help you to focus on your highest priority and then assist you in making the transition.

What happens during a Personal Coaching Session?

 

During sessions, either over the telephone, Skype or during a one to one meeting; you will explore how far you have come and what your current issue or goal is for the session. Through the use of powerful and effective questioning along with other coaching ‘tools’, it will be possible to identify what is currently working well in your life, what is not working so well, what you want in your life and how to go about getting those things.
With your Coaches’ help:

 

Is Life Coaching Cost Effective and Why?

 

Yes! Life Coaching is cost effective. After working with your Transformational Coach, you will be helped to plan how you can get things done in the quickest and most efficient way possible each week or fortnight. You will take action each day/week (you decide) and start to experience the transformation you want in your life.

 

Transformational Coaching focuses on what is going on in your life right now and assists you in setting up massive action plans for success. It is spaced at regular intervals so it can deal with your life issues, goals and situations on an ongoing basis.

 

It is always supportive and encouraging and is especially useful should you become disillusioned or unsure of your progress.

 

Remember the saying “if you continue to do what you have always done, you will get the results that you have always got”.

 

We all know life can be challenging, but with Transformational Coaching, you will find it can be quite transformational. All you need is a desire for change, an open mind and a commitment to take action. You will receive the right support that will help you transform as you want to.

 

As individuals we invest our money in everyday pleasure such as:

 

These treats are essential and well advised; however, the thrill of them is short lived. The ‘fix’ has to be repeated on a regular basis, and you still have to go back to the everyday grind of the life you currently live with nothing changed.

 

Your commitment to Transformational Coaching is an investment in your life and future! It’s an investment you can’t afford to miss.

 

Where do you really want to be in 3 or 5 year’s time? Is it where you are now? If not call us now.

 

How many sessions will I need?

 

12 sessions are recommended, as it has been noted the most powerful changes are experienced over a 90 – 180 day period. However, the initial agreement can be for six, nine or 12 sessions and Add-On Sessions can be agreed to suit your needs.

 

TIME AND LIFE MANAGEMENT

 

Q: I’m an organized person. The only problem is that I’m very busy!
How can Outcomes Planning Management (OPM) System help
me?

 

With the pace of life today, it is not enough to be organized is not enough. The more successful you are, the greater the pressure you have. Many people are glad to have a job, but they are doing the work of two or more people. Entrepreneurs want to increase revenue; and everyone wants less stress and a better work/life balance.

 

For people inundated with heavy workload, we can apply OPM to help them resolve the puzzle of how to get their job accomplished without working 24/7. We’ll help you identify what’s working and what’s not. You learn to overcome procrastination and focus on your important outcome. Even a small shift can make a big difference in your productivity and effectiveness.

 

I’m not crazy about technology, I prefer paper.

A paper system that works well is far better than technology you don’t want to use. We won’t fix what isn’t broken. Instead, we’ll help you make the most of whatever method you choose.

 

eCommerce

 

What is eCommerce?

 

eCommerce is the buying and selling of products or services over electronic or “e” systems – in other words, the Internet. According to Bill Gates; “In the future, there will be two kinds of businesses. Those that are on the Internet… and those that are out of business”.
E-commerce has expanded rapidly over the past few years and is set to continue at an even faster pace. In eCommerce business, payments are made by credit or debit card, bank transfer or by alternative payment methods.

 

Although the high street may still be bustling, more and more consumers are now choosing to shop online. As well as avoiding the crowds, retail websites are often the preferred option because of the variety of products on offer. Also many smaller, more niche businesses often will not have a visible shop front in a prime location, so people search online instead. For these reasons, having a website can be more cost-effective for your business and in many cases.
